Description
Add a vibrant and bright 1.9" color IPS TFT display to your project with this breakout featuring the ST7789 driver.
This small 320x170 pixel 16-bit color display uses 4-wire SPI communication and has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, making it perfect for use with microcontrollers with limited memory and pins. The IPS panel ensures excellent color visibility up to 80 degrees off-axis.
The breakout board includes the TFT display mounted on a flexible circuit connector, an ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator, auto-reset circuitry, and a 3/5V level shifter allowing compatibility with 3.3V or 5V logic and power. Additionally, it incorporates a built-in microSD card holder so you can load full-color bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted microSD card (microSD card not included).
Key features:
- 1.9" LCD TFT display with 320x170 16-bit full-color pixels
- IPS technology for improved viewing angles
- Built-in microSD card slot for bitmap loading
- 18-pin "EYE SPI" standard FPC connector for flexible wiring
- Ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator and 3/5V level shifting
- Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, CircuitPython, and other microcontrollers
Dimensions are 57.2mm x 36.6mm x 5.2mm with 0.1" mounting holes. Product weight is 9.6 grams.
Note: Designed originally for smartwatches and similar devices with a protective glass overlay. To prevent the backlight from peeling off from the TFT, a plastic or glass cover is recommended when using the display bare. Alternatively, use a small amount of adhesive or thin tape to secure the layers.
Extensive open-source Arduino libraries and CircuitPython drivers are available for quick development. Documentation and example code are available at Adafruit's Github repositories.
